Swells begin arriving toward the end of March, increasing in consistency and peaking from June to August. Great waves can still be had in September with October easing and November being a better time to simply snorkel and relax. Water temperature averages 28°C throughout the year. The reef bottom surf breaks offer everything from peaky performance waves to long gentle glassy walls, almond shaped tubes, and occasional days of heaving round barrels.

Our surfer guesthouse is on Thulusdoo island which benefits from the world renowned surfing conditions. Its consistency, quality of ride, and serene natural surrounds. Thulusdhoo is in the thick of an incredible stretch of coastline ideal for a perfect surfing experience in Maldives. Thulusdhoo has two famous surf spots Cokes and Chickens.

Cokes: Most consistent Performance Wave for Surfing in Maldives

Breaking right off Thulusdhoo island, this premier right hander is the most consistent performance wave in the Maldives. Named after the Coca Cola factory situated on Thulusdhoo island. The wave is recommended for surfers with at least some experience as it offers speed and power throughout. Small peaky days consist of back-dooring small A-frame barrels, exiting the barrel section with speed for one or two performance turns.

As the swell size & period increases, the fun peaks turn to long workable walls. The best swells of the year allow for almond shaped barrels on the deepest take off point that widen into proper round stand up barrels through the middle & end section. Offering quality rides from waist height swells, right up to triple over head – Cokes is the “Go to” spot for those who like some action in their waves.

Chickens: Beginners to intermediate surfers wave when small

Across the channel from Thulusdhoo island lies the surf break known as Chickens. At small size this wave offers long rides with a thin lip and fun usable nature. Waves can peel at a high speed, or be much slower depending on the swell direction. At a small size this wave is a favorite with confident beginner to intermediate surfers, the flat and relatively deep bottom being very forgiving in nature.

As the swell size approaches double overhead, the gentle nature of Chickens changes to a super-fast medium power wave offering very long rides with eye watering speed and power throughout. The best swells of the year offer long barrels with sections for big drawn out power turns and long section floaters. Regarded by many as the best left in the Maldives.

Boat transfers to distant surf spots

For your Maldives surfing experience boat transfers can be arranged to more distant surf breaks including Sultans, Honky’s, Jails, Ninjas, and some lesser surfed spots.
